Fantastic Tour! - A great tour to get an overview of Scottsdale, Tempe and the Arts District, with a little bit of nature thrown in as a bonus. Allie is a great tour guide who takes care of her customers and shows a passion for her business. Delicious street taco lunch at the end as well. Highly recommend!

Excellent outing with Allie! - My mom and I did the 3 Cities & Nature Tour. Our tour guide Allie was exceptional. She was super friendly and knowledgeable. With the heat being what it was, Allie had umbrellas for us and unlimited cold water. We couldn't have enjoyed it more. I would highly recommend this tour. Thanks Allie for an amazing time.

Must Do - Allie is fabulous- she pours so much thought into the details. Never met a kinder soul! The tour was well organized with tons of historical information. Even my 16 year stayed engaged.

Great fun- even for a solo traveler! - Was not sure quite what to expect, but WOW! I saw so much on this tour. Desert animals, historic buildings, so many mountains. I even tasted cactus. Beautiful jewelry in Scottsdale shops. Allie was so friendly. I would highly recommend this to any solo traveler.

Best tour of the Cities and Arizona Desert! - I can’t say enough about this adventure. Allie was so accommodating. Ice cold bottles of water, huge back of snacks, asking all along the way if we were comfortable or needed anything. Each city was so different from each other. Western shops and saloons in Scottsdale, big paintings in Phoenix, breathtaking views in Tempe. And the food!!!! I always love to try local food. Lunch was so delicious. So much cool information about desert plants and animals, history and fun facts. Thanks, Allie, for an experience I will never forget.

The worst tour of my life - The worst guide tour from Viator Nice lady with knowledgeable. However she was not interested in showing the 3 cities as a guide tour The 3 cities were very very close to each other. We were 2 guests with 5 hours She showed Desert Sonoran. Some flowers cactus and some birds She did not stop in Tempe. And drove us to Old Scottsdale at 9:45. The stores only open at 10:00. Pickup at 10:30 drive to the Worst place to eat, Tacos Folia near to Ro Ro Quesadilla with some meat without cheese. Not souer cream. No salsa No chips I never had so BAD food and worst tour for $168.00. For the price that I paid and the service that was offered I could eat at Ruth’s Chris and hire an Uber I will be much more happier I would like to have my money back in full or partial I have been travelled all over the world with Viator with good experiences I will contact Viator to discuss this situation and solve this case. Please do not let your tourists go to that restaurant and had a very bad food You need to show the BEST OF THE CITY of Phoenix and the state of Arizona that I fall in love After much consideration I decided to describe my bad feelings about this tour I hope other people do not feel the same. Have a great summer.
